Natural Materials
Front
At first, humans fashioned natural materials into new forms to make useful things that made life easier.
Back
Composition
Front
What a material is made of.
Back
Filtration
Front
A process that separates materials based on the size of their particles.
The particles in a suspension are much, much larger than those in a solution, and we can use their different physical size to filter them out. A filter is a material that contains many microscopic holes or 'pores.' If we choose a filter whose pores are small enough to trap the suspended particles then the liquid part of the suspension will pass right through, leaving the suspended particles behind.

Reactions with Acid Example
Front
Vinegar + Baking soda = release of Carbon Dioxide Gas

Physical & Chemical Properties
Front
Back
changes of state
Front
are physical changes. One material changes state all the time around us, and is vital for all life on Earth - water (chemical formula: H2O).
Back
Physical Changes
Front
Changes that occur without changing the identity of the substance. NO NEW SUBSTANCES ARE FORMED.
Back
Physical Properties
Front
Determined by the 5 senses. Are a description. Is a description of an object
It's tall, it's green, it has a hairy bum... it's the hulk
Back
Examples of chemical reactions
Front
a car is started
tarnish is removed from silver
fertilizer added to help plants grow
food is digested
electricity produced from burning natural gas
rust is formed on iron nails
Back
Chemical Changes
Front
changes that occur that cause the identity of a substance to change; something new is formed. NEW SUBSTANCES WITH NEW PROPERTIES ARE FORMED.
Back
Examples of Chemical Changes
Front
Sodium + Chloride makes salt
Silver + Sulfur in the air = tarnish
Silver + electricity = Silver plating
Wood burning
Metal rusting
Food digesting
Gasoline burning
Cake baking
Back
A pure substance
Front
Any material that cannot be further split up by physical changes - although it may be possible to split up the pure substances using chemical changes.
Back
Distillation
Front
The process of heating a solution or mixture to separate out its component materials is called distillation. Distillation is used in all kinds of processes - for example in some countries it is used to separate out and purify the alcohol from solutions made through the process of fermentation, to produce strong alcoholic drinks. Fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel or paraffin are separated out from crude oil using a similar process. THE PROCESS OF HEATING A SOLUTION TO SEPARATE ITS MATERIALS

Front
determined by a substance's ability to react with other substances.
Back
Capillary Action
Front
Another physical property used to separate mixtures of different liquids is to use their different solubilities. Have you ever dipped a biscuit in a drink? If so, you will have seen how the drink is absorbed by the dry biscuit and is drawn up into it . This is due to a process called capillary action, and it is also how plants draw water from the ground up into their stems. A WAY TO SEPARATE MIXTURES USING THEIR SOLUBILITIES
Back
The Water Cycle
Front
the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
Back
Evidence of Chemical Change:
Front
Heat, light or sound
Bubbles of gas or fizzing
Precipitate forms -- a solid material that forms in a liquid
The change is difficult or impossible to reverse
Back
Examples of physical changes...
Front
Change in size, shape, or color
Pencil shavings
Torn Paper
Crushed ice
Sugar dissolved in water
Painting a wall
Back
Chromatography
Front
In Capillary action, different liquids are absorbed at different rates, so this can be used to separate them out in a process called chromatography. THE ACTUAL PROCESS OF SEPARATING MIXTURES BASED ON THEIR SOLUBILITIES
Back
Artificial Materials
Front
Later, humans discovered that materials could be changed in various ways, and they created new processes to transform natural materials into artificial materials that better suited their needs.
